Mohan Bhagwat’s Claim: Smoke from Firecrackers Purifies the Environment; Festivals Will Not Stop

Nagpur: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat made a significant statement while speaking at a Diwali event organized by the Maheshwari Panchayat in Nagpur on Tuesday. He remarked that, in the past, firecrackers were not manufactured using the chemical substances seen today; rather, the smoke they produced helped eliminate insects and purify the environment—a phenomenon he attributed to a scientific basis. Bhagwat asserted, “Regardless of any opposition, festivals and celebrations will not cease. They keep society vibrant.” He also noted that there is a scientific rationale behind the use of oil lamps; traditionally, lamps fueled by ghee or oil were lit, which fostered a positive atmosphere. He emphasized the importance of understanding the underlying science while observing these traditions, noting that such practices help purify the environment and bring joy to life. Highlighting the significance of festivals in the fabric of Indian society, Bhagwat stated that the age-old tradition of celebrating these occasions will continue. However, he stressed that festivals should be observed in their original, authentic form so that society may continue to reap their benefits—benefits that contribute to the protection of individuals, society, and the environment alike. Furthermore, he pointed out that Diwali is gaining global prominence. Once celebrated primarily within India, the festival is now observed even in the parliaments of the United States and the United Kingdom. He noted a growing global sentiment to extend Diwali greetings to Indians, as the world increasingly recognizes that on this day, every Indian embraces a spirit of joy, purity, sanctity, and service. He stated that the act of giving—making donations or performing acts of charity—on the occasion of festivals is also a part of Indian tradition. Bhagwat further urged people to abide by the rules and laws of society. He noted that the rules in the homes, communities, and cities where we live apply to everyone and are established with the intent of ensuring a better life for all. He added that everyone should begin correcting their own mistakes from this very moment.
